Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE MISSION OF SANTIAGO MIDDLE SCHOOL IS TO ASSIST ITS STUDENTS TO ATTAIN AN EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGE BY DELIVERING A QUALITY AND DISCIPLINED PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION OF UNMATCHED VALUE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SANTIAGO IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT SUPPORTS ALL ASPECTS OF A STUDENTS LIFE AND ENSURES EACH STUDENT IS ENGAGED IN EXPLORATORY EXPERIENCES TO FURTHER PREPARE THEM FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

  • SANTIAGO OPERATES ITS CHARTER SCHOOL UNDER THE BELIEF THAT ADOLESCENTS DESERVE A QUALITY CURRICULUM DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM AND THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A TIME FOR EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY FOR INTERESTS. WHILE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS STATE-WIDE ARE CUTTING THEIR EXPLORATORY PROGRAMS, SANTIAGO CONTINUES TO WORK SO THAT THESE INVALUABLE CLASSES REMAIN A PART OF THE CURRICULUM. AS A RESULT, EACH STUDENT AT SANTIAGO HAS THE OPTION OF CHOOSING TWO PER YEAR OF THE FOLLOWING ELECTIVES: ART, VOCAL MUSIC, DRAMA, FOREIGN LANGUAGE, INDUSTRIAL ARTS, HOME ECONOMICS, BAND, ORCHESTRA, SPEECH, READING, AND MUSICAL THEATER. ALL OF THE ELECTIVE TEACHERS HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING IN THE AREAS OF READING AND WRITING, AND THEY INCORPORATE THESE LESSONS INTO THEIR PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF SANTIAGO'S STANDARDS-BASED CURRICULUM.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects
